Tone Profile
The bass tone is warm, round, and supportive, laying a solid foundation for the song's groove. It's a classic Motown-esque bass sound, thick but not muddy, with a subtle presence that helps it cut through the mix.
Production Credits
Producer: Jerry Wexler
Engineer: Tom Dowd
Recorded at: Atlantic Studios (New York, NY)
Signal Chain
Instrument: Fender Precision Bass
Amp: Ampeg B-15
Recording Notes
- The bass was likely recorded with the amp in a relatively dead room to avoid excessive reflections.
- A direct input signal may have been blended with the amp's signal for added clarity and punch.
Recreation Tips
- Use a flatwound or roundwound strings on a P-Bass.
- Roll off some of the high frequencies on the bass using the tone knob.
- Use a subtle amount of compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
- If using an amp simulator, choose one that emulates the characteristics of an Ampeg B-15.
